Chapter 166: Imperial City Siege

This Laba Festival dinner ended in Xiao Ling's repeated speculation, and Qingchen's true and false words made Xiao Ling even more unpredictable.

The lights of Longchen Palace have been extinguished, everyone has dispersed, and when they returned to their palaces, Mu Qingchen still returned to Fengzao Palace with Huaying, and after washing, he rested.

However, although Qingchen lying on the bed had her eyes closed, she never fell asleep, because she was waiting, waiting for everything she had arranged, waiting for them to catch Xiao Ling off guard.

The night sky was silent, there was no sound outside, even the forbidden army on night patrol walked quietly, there was occasionally a gust of wind blowing in the dark court, blowing the branches next to it, and the dark shadow crossed the wall, so that those forbidden soldiers who patrolled the night were suddenly startled, and when they looked up, there was no half of a figure.

Qingchen was lying on the bed in the Fengzao Palace, listening intently to the movement outside, thinking about any problems that might arise in his mind, thinking about how they would deal with them if Xiao Ling had a back hand.

I don't know how long it took, but the night seemed to be deep, and the wind outside gradually became stronger, blowing the leaves and rustling, making the forbidden army, which had been on the lookout for days and nights against the assassins, feel like they were all soldiers.

Suddenly, a loud rumbling sound came from the Ningyue Palace out of nowhere, shocking the entire court.

When Qingchen heard this voice, he opened his eyes suddenly, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and a trace of clarity flashed in his heart: After waiting for so long, it should have come, and it has finally come.

Thinking of this, Qingchen jumped up from the bed, quickly got dressed, and walked towards the outside of Fengzao Palace.

At the moment when she left the inner hall, the flower shadow suddenly appeared, stopped in front of Qingchen, looked at Qingchen with a complicated face, and asked:

"Where does the princess want to go?"

"You don't need to know, get out of the way, I don't want to do anything with you. Qingchen said coldly, looking at the flower shadow's eyes with a hint of murderous aura.

Although Hua Ying was a secret guard trained by her, from the day those secret guards helped Xiao Ling slaughter her Ye family's three thousand hidden guards, these people were no longer her brothers, but her enemies.

"I know I'm not your opponent, I was taught by you, how can the apprentice beat the master?" Hua Ying looked at Qingchen, the smile on the corner of her mouth was faint, and she said.

"What did you say?" Qingchen squinted his eyes and stared at Huaying, his hands had already carried enough internal strength, almost as soon as Huaying spoke, he would kill her.

"I'm different from other secret guards, I have never carried out a murderous mission, the princess is right, I want to be the Li Furong who feels guilty for killing someone, not the lackey of the emperor's side. "You've been kind to me, so I know what I have to do. ”

After Hua Ying finished speaking, he suddenly made a move, his five fingers formed a claw, swept to the side, and caught the person hiding in the dark eavesdropping, and the five claws locked the opponent's throat, and before Qingchen could open his mouth to stop it, he had already broken the opponent's neck and killed him with one move.

Qingchen looked over, but saw that the person who fell to the ground and had no breath at all was Zhiting who was arranged by Xiao Ling in Fengzao Palace, and the person who was hiding here just now to eavesdrop was her.

"Flower Shadow, you ......" Qingchen's eyes flashed with shock, and he looked at Flower Shadow with some puzzlement.

"Princess, let's go, there are a total of seven dark guards guarding this Fengzao Palace, and I will be responsible for dealing with them. Flower Shadow said, turning away without looking back.

Qingchen knew that Flower Shadow had recognized her identity, because she knew everything about Flower Shadow's past, her name, Han Lianshu, and the poem that represented the names of their sisters. In this world, no one knows so much about the past of a dark guard, except for the secret guard himself, which is Ye Chengcheng.

There is no need to think too much, Hua Ying decided that she was Ye Chengcheng, so for the sake of saving her life, she was willing to betray Xiao Ling and betray this master who had betrayed her life-saving benefactor.

Qingchen saw the flower shadow leaving, and the movements under his feet did not stop for a moment, and walked outside.

If she heard correctly, the loud bang came from the side of the prison, because it was the sound of gunpowder exploding, and it was also the first step in the whole plan she had arranged for tonight: to blow up the prison.

Tomorrow led the brothers of the Star Picking Tower from the underground palace of the Star Picking Tower as the starting point, and ending with the prison of the Imperial Palace, digging a tunnel, leading directly from the Star Picking Tower to the Heavenly Prison, taking Feng Xiran away unconsciously, and then blowing up the Heavenly Prison, attracting the attention of Xiao Ling and the forbidden army, at the same time, Ning Chen led people to sneak in from the weak place on the side of the Waste Palace, rescued Xiao Yi, and attacked the west.

And what she has to do is to take advantage of Xiao Ling's immaculate clone in the palace when there is chaos in the palace, go to the treasure house of the palace, and steal the Holy Pond Golden Lotus, because the Nankong Divine Doctor said that to detoxify Xiao Yi, the Holy Pond Golden Lotus is a must-have.

This is the real purpose of her entering the palace to hide for so long, saving Feng Xiran is only one of them, and the second purpose is to get the holy pool golden lotus for Xiao Yi.

At this time, because of the loud bang of the prison, the forbidden army of the entire palace had been mobilized, and Zhang Jing also played the bearing of a forbidden army commander at this time, commanding Ruo Ding, dividing the entire forbidden army into three groups.

The first group went to investigate the situation of the prison to see what was going on with Feng Xiran; the second group searched around the palace to find suspicious people and protect all the palace masters to prevent assassins from taking advantage of the situation; the third group rushed to the abandoned palace to support, because Feng Xiran had a move here, so Xiao Yi would definitely have a move there.

Qingchen's petite figure walked through the palace, dodging the forbidden army who patrolled to and fro, hiding her entire body by the cover of the night and the shadows of the surrounding trees, and after the forbidden army walked through, she moved the place and approached the treasure house of the palace step by step.

Xiao Ling had already heard the commotion outside, and Zhang Jing also appeared in Longchen Palace at the right time, telling Xiao Ling about the gunpowder explosion in the prison, and just when Zhang Jing told all this situation, several explosions came from outside in a row, making Xiao Ling's face frost for a moment.

"What's the situation?" Xiao Ling asked in a cold voice.

"There was an explosion in the prison, and every explosion was not strong, but the brothers didn't know what was going on in the prison, so they didn't dare to go in. Zhang Jing said, "But please rest assured, the emperor has mobilized the forbidden army to rush to the abandoned palace to guard His Royal Highness King Yi." ”

"Send someone into the prison to check what is going on, Xiao Yi must take care of me, and there is no room for error. In addition, the commander of the Gyeonggi Guard was ordered to lead people to search the whole capital and arrest Feng Xiran. Xiao Ling didn't think about it, he had already made an order.

"Obedience. Hearing this, Zhang Jing nodded, and took the order.

Xiao Ling looked at Zhang Jing's departing back, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and he gritted his teeth and spit out a few words: "Mu Qingchen." ”

I should have thought that Mu Qingchen would not bow to him so easily, but I didn't expect that Mu Qingchen would be able to arrange everything in an orderly manner after entering the palace for many days, how powerful is she in Ningyue Country?

Thinking like this, Xiao Ling walked out of Longchen Palace and headed towards Fengzao Palace.

When he arrived at Fengzao Palace, he saw the corpses of two secret guards at the door, pushed open the door and walked in, and found that none of the seven secret guards he sent to monitor in Fengzao Palace escaped, Zhi Ting died on the spot, and Huaying did not know where to go.

Seeing this, Xiao Ling turned around without saying a word, left Fengzao Palace, and walked towards the abandoned palace to the west of the palace, because he guessed that Mu Qingchen would definitely go to save Xiao Yi in person, after all, Xiao Yi was also the most important bargaining chip in Mu Qingchen's hands.

At the moment when Xiao Ling came out of the Fengzao Palace, a forbidden soldier suddenly ran over, pounced, knelt in front of Xiao Ling, and said:

"Your Majesty, the Imperial City...... surrounded. ”

"What are you talking about? Say it again?" When Xiao Ling heard this, his footsteps towards the Waste Palace suddenly stopped, and he immediately turned around and looked at this forbidden army, his eyes full of disbelief.

When there was an explosion in the prison just now, he always thought that Mu Qingchen's purpose was to rescue Feng Xiran and Xiao Yi unconsciously, and then let him have a few less chips in his hand that could threaten her, but he didn't expect that Mu Qingchen would have a backup move.

In other words, Xiao Yi still has a back move.

After all, to surround the imperial city, it is necessary to mobilize a lot of troops, and Mu Qingchen, a princess from a foreign country, is impossible to bring the army of the Heavenly Star Kingdom to Ningyue Kyoto without revealing any news, so the one who surrounds the imperial city must be the Ningyue ** team, so only Xiao Yi can do this.

The forbidden soldier seemed to be frightened by the look on Xiao Ling's face, and spoke again with some trembling:

"Your Majesty, the Imperial City has been ...... was surrounded, and Commander Zhang said that there were 100,000 troops, and the people led by them were ...... Different surname Hou. ”

After the forbidden army finished telling the news he knew, he knelt on the ground and stopped making a sound, waiting for Xiao Ling to speak.

"Send someone to the Waste Palace to bring Xiao Yi out to me, and go to the Purple Smoke Palace to arrest Ye Xi, I will go to meet them for a while." Xiao Ling commanded the forbidden army, and then brushed his sleeves away.

Xiao Yi, Mu Qingchen.

Xiao Ling silently read these two names in his heart, and a strong hatred burst out in his eyes, it turned out that spreading rumors everywhere was their trick, forcing him to make a move, so that everything had been calmed down, and then give him a recruit not to get tired of deceit, and even surrounded the imperial city silently!

Very good!

Thinking like this, Xiao Ling carefully sorted out all these things in his mind, 100,000 horses entered Kyoto to surround the imperial city, if it was the army of the fief lord and other troops stationed on the border, it was impossible for no movement to reach him, so the only possibility was that these 100,000 horses were originally near Kyoto.

Three words flashed in Xiao Ling's mind: Xiao Riding Camp.

The Xiao Cavalry Battalion is the most solid backing of Kyoto in the Ning Moon Country, the most powerful defense force, there is no so-called military talisman, it has always been under the direct command of the Ning Yue Emperor, and the entire Xiao Cavalry Battalion is just 100,000 people.

The forbidden army guards the palace, the Gyeonggi Guard is responsible for the internal security of Kyoto, and the Xiao Cavalry Battalion is responsible for the protection of Kyoto, each performing its own duties, but now, the Forbidden Army and the Gyeonggi Guard are in Xiao Ling's hands, but I didn't expect that there was a problem with the men and horses of the Xiao Cavalry Battalion.
